    In answer to the question about where we live, it is a very small village at 3000 ft up a 6 km small and steep mountain road. The road is cleared regularly so it is not a problem unless you want to leave or are coming back from somewhere when it is snowing. I suppose we would put chains on then. But we do go skiing and you can get caught in bad weather then. However as I said before we obviously WILL have snow tyres as we do now on the xtrail. Thanks for all your answers and I think we will go for an NX.

    Thanks for all your comments. I did realize that the NX was probably not the best car for our area (1000m up in the mountain!) but I do like the idea of an hybrid and the reliability and comfort of Lexus.

    Thanks. Actually we live in the Pyrenees and yes the roads do get cleaned. We presently have an old nissan xtrail and with snow tyres it will take anything thrown at it weather wise. The NX will obviously have snow tyres from November till April and we will carry chains in the car. But we live at the top of a 150m steep lane and it would be a pain to have to put chains on just to get down to the main road! The NX does not have a snow button but the RX does. Different system?

    I really like the NX but before buying one I need to know how it works on snow. Also if you use in 4x4 mode for a while e.g. on a long snowy road going uphill, what happens if the batteries run out? Does that mean you can’t be in 4x4 anymore? we live in the mountains...
